Original Note:
The framing of “ Brexit has caused a £40bn tax loss” is important. Tax revenue has risen. https://fullfact.org/economy/tax-revenue-Brexit/ But Brexit has damaged the economy. The claim tax revenues would have been significantly higher had we remained in the EU is plausible but the £40bn figure is hypothesis not fact. https://www.niesr.ac.uk/publications/revisiting-effect-brexit?type=global-economic-outlook-topical-feature
